Nick Johnson - 0 for 2.
Austin Kearns - 1 for 3, .333 AVG, 1 3B, 1 RBI.
Nyjer Morgan - 3 for 5, .600 AVG, 1 2B.
Josh Willingham - 2 for 5, .400 AVG.
Ryan Zimmerman - 2 for 6, .333 AVG, 1 RBI.
NOTES:
• Villanueva has lost 3 of his last 5 relief appearances, including a blown save which saw him surrender a single an RBI triple and when the triple scored, 2 ER without retiring a batter. The next time out after the BS, Villanueva gave up 3 H, 3 BB and 6 ER in 0.1 IP to the Los Angeles Dodgers. A one-out walk, an RBI triple, an intentional walk, an RBI single a walk to load the bases and a grand slam surrendered, and Villanueva had turned a 6-6 tie into a blowout win for LA.
• Collin Balester's 1st MLB start of '09 was cut short by rain after he'd surrendered 3 hits and 3 runs, 2 earned, in 3.0 IP. Before his return to the DC rotation, Balester was (7-9) with a 4.35 ERA in 19 GS for the Nationals' Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse, NY.
• The Nationals, winners of 3-straight, are trying to match their season-high win streak of 4-straight set June 17th-20th, when they took two each from the NY Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. The Milwaukee Brewers have lost 4 of their last 5 and 6 of their last 8.

hmm no NJ
in the lineup. Trade imminent? Can’t imagine they’d be resting him if a trade wasn’t close to finished.

With TAWH and Cap'n Morgan in the OF, we really only need two...
…we should have Hammer and Dunn both play first, just to be sure.

Agreed...
Willy and Nyjer in the gaps…but leave Dunn on the bench when the Nats are afield, he’s apt to do less damage there.

How is that even possible?

That could be the hallmark of untapped power, but at 29 and with his skillset he doesn’t need to find it. Lordy though, would he be valuable if he could get 10-15 HR a season.

I asked SI.com's Lee Jenkins the same...(sorry, not to name drop, I liked his answer):
SI’s Lee Jenkins: That’s a great question. Strasburg will make a ton of money, but the bulls-eye on his back will be larger because of it. Everyone will want a chance to cut him down to size. In talking to the other pitchers, it seems that Strasburg will likely inspire a lot of jealousy in the minor leagues. In the majors, where players are usually more secure, he will probably be embraced. But it’s important that he work hard, perform well and keep his head down, in order to insulate himself against resentment. Of course, he will have to endure a lot of jokes about his contract, and if he has a prolonged holdout, he risks alienating some teammates and fans before he even gets to the big leagues. When Andy Benes said he was happy to have his $200,000, I totally understood what he meant. Obviously, we would all love to have $50 million, but there is a lot that goes with it.

Actually, was going a different route
Though I guess I’m wrong since this is a four game series anyway. I was going to say that if the Nats win tonight, this would clinch their third straight series win (since the Cardinal makeup game was from a series in April), but that would have been wrong anyway.

He never seemed to reach his potential in Milwaukee.
That happens, and there was pressure on him since we were one of the worst teams in the league and he was one of the few prospects to come through the system at the time, but the unfulfilled potential (at least perceived potential) was hard to take from a kid who looked bored off his ass most of the time.

Really up and down.
Got sent down for several weeks, got shelled once at AAA, then recalled before he appeared to be ready, only to put up two very nice starts after the all-star break. Then he got shelled in his last start.
Basically he could got 7 innings and give up 2 or less runs tomorrow or you might hang 5+ on him in the first three innings. It’s hard to guess with him.
The club line on him is that he lacked confidence, so they sent him down to let Chris Bosio get his head right. Sabathia said when he left that Parra was trying to throw too many kinds of pitches and should cut back to 3 rather than the 5 he likes to throw. I still think Parra will be alright. He flashes #2 stuff on occasion, but I don’t know that he’ll ever be that consistant. Lefties get it together late somtimes, and he’s still pretty young. It might take a change of scenerey to get him to put it together…
… keep in mind I’m just a casual when reading the above…

Who comes out for teh save?
